Roger Frank Livingston

Long Time Brazoria County Resident Roger Frank Livingston passed away on December 15, 2024

at the Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center in Houston, Texas.

Roger Livingston was born on September 21st 1953 in Refugio Texas to Bennie and Betty Livingston. 

The family moved to West Columbia in 1957 where Roger attended school and was famously known for 

having a pet Crow (Joe the Crow) who attended school with him. Roger

excelled in football, helping his team go all the way to state. While in high school, Roger and a

 few friends started a band where Roger played the drums. In 1973 Roger joined the Army and

was stationed in Kirch-Gons, Germany as a rifleman with the Company B, 3rd Battalion, 36th

Infantry, 3rd Armored division. He also participated in the 58th Annual 4-day international march

in the Netherlands that still goes on to this day. In Rogers late 20’s he would have two children

Kristian and Joseph Livingston. Roger soon became a staple in Construction industry as a crane

operator and this would lead to the family traveling all around California but later in life landing

them back in Brazoria County. Roger continued his construction career for many years in the

local Chemical Plants and was a long-time employee with Infinity that is now Woodman.

 In Rogers adult years he had many loves, his family, fishing (which he considers himself the Bass

Master), his 1923 Ford Tbucket, being a member of the CCBC car club, Fish fry’s and spending

time with family and friends. If you were to ask anyone about Roger, they would say he was a

one of a kind, and always a good time.
